We will be writing the following essay in class on Wednesday:
In his second volume of memoirs, Ways of Escape (1980), Graham Green observed the following:"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation.”
How can writers use memoirs as therapy to deal with the human situation and to reflect on larger issues/ideas? Use specific evidence from at least three different memoirs read in class.
Mini-Lesson: Organization
Use the outline handout to briefly structure your essay. You should have an introduction, at least 3 body paragraphs (PEE), and a conclusion.
